Divan of Hafez

The Divan of Khwaja Shams al-Din Muhammad Hafez of Shiraz, the fourteenth-century poet whose ghazals are counted among the finest in Persian. His verses on love, wine, faith and hypocrisy carry many layers of meaning, and for centuries families have kept the book at home, opening it for guidance and reading it aloud on special nights. A treasured gift for any household. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
